//------------------------------// // Kyurem's Icy Battle & Future Plans // Story: Pokemon; World Collision // by Ty The Draco //------------------------------// "...What has Team Rocket done to this place?" asked a hooded boy. He had been transported, along with his old castle, by one of the strange portals to deep beneath some sort of cave. As he traveled through the cave, trying to stay low, he saw some weird creatures, which were a dark gray color, almost black, had holes in their legs, and their eyes looked completely blue with only white parts playing as the part of their eyes that helped them see. Most of them had machines, which had the Team Rocket symbol, attached to their back, which shocked them if they stopped for a while, while others were either frozen, mostly because of the freezing air that was felt, or at least that's what he thought, or non moving on the ground, meaning they were either out cold or, worse, dead. He tried to shake that thought out of his head as he continued. After making it as far as he could for now, he saw something very unwelcoming. There were three pillars of ice, each one having a different creature in it, two of the same kind he saw before but the other one looking different. Each ice pillar also had a machine to it and the two that had the dark gray creatures in them was, for some reason, absorbing energy from the other one, who looked like a pony. "I don't want to cause any attention, but...I've got a feeling those three will be of some help." said the boy as he pulled out some sort of white stone. "Now Reshiram, I need your assistance!" said the boy. All of a sudden, the white stone started to absorb the very energy that was coming from the pony and then it floated into the air. Afterwards, the stone began to spin uncontrollably as the energy was sent back as the stone started to turn into a large dragon like Pokemon. It looked like a white-colored, bipedal Pokemon of seemingly draconian and mammalian basis, with some of the avian features of feathers. Streaming out from the upper side of the snout and outward from the head is a long, voluminous wispy mane, the top of which forms a spike or small head-crest of some sort. It's tail resembled some sort of electric turbine, which seemed to have fire going through it. "What is it? I thought we agreed I would not be summoned unless it was an emergency." said Reshiram to the one who summoned it. "Well this is an emergency. See those 3? I don't know why, but something is telling me I need their help and they need mine. So if you can, may you please unfreeze them?" asked the boy. Reshiram nodded before firing a stream of blue fire at the ice, which somehow withstood it. "..Just as I feared. This ice was made by Kyurem. It'll be tough for it to melt and I don't think we have that much time before we get noticed." said Reshiram. The boy nodded and faced the cave that served as the only entrance and exit to this place. "All this...just to revive an ancient evil...Team Rocket, I'll make sure that me and my friends take you down." said the boy as Reshiram was able to melt the ice, freeing the 3 creatures. The boy came up to them and immediately got them together and put his coat over them. The 2 black ones were awake, but shivering severely. The orange pony was not shivering, but wasn't awake either. "S-s-s-so c-c-c-cold..." said the one with the black bow in it's mane. The other one looked like it wanted to say something, but couldn't. The boy immediately sat down beside them and put an arm over them to give them some warmth. Reshiram also helped by having fire go through it's tail to warm the place up. The two, as soon as they felt the heat, stopped shivering as much and looked up at the boy. "T-thanks mister...M-mah name's A-Apple B-Bloom and may f-friend here is Sweetie B-Belle. W-we're both a race c-called changelings. B-But neither of us k-know what has happened t-to the rest of our h-hive after we got frozen." said Apple Bloom. The boy immediately took a look of sadness before explaining. "I hate to tell you, but whoever froze you has completely taken control of this place and the rest of your species here are being used as slaves." said the boy. The two changelings were shocked by this, but then they saw a look of confidence in the boy's face. "But I promise you I won't let Team Rocket get away with this. Let me introduce myself. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, I am going to be your partner until we take care of Team Rocket once and for all." said the boy. The two changelings gave him a weak smile, knowing they had found a friend. "Thanks...But, can we at least know yer name?" asked Apple Bloom. The boy gave them a smile before giving them his answer. "Just call me...N." Ooh ooh oh ohoh I'm Unbeatable! Walking down this endless highway! Nothing but my friends beside me! We'll never give in, We'll never rest! Advanced Battle is the ultimate test! From the earth, the land, the sea and sky They can never win, but they sure can try! Ooh ooh oh ohoh, I'm unbeatable! Pokemon Advanced Battle! Ooh ooh oh ohoh, I'm undefeatable!

I'm Unbeatable! Pokemon! Episode 9: Kyurem's Icy Battle & Future Plans The first thing that Paul saw as he and Uxie made their way back to the group was an explosion high in the air. Soon, two Pokemon appeared from the smoke, one looking like an ice dragon while the other looked like some sort of humanoid feline. "What have they gotten themselves into now!?" asked Paul as he rushed to the battlefield, being careful not to drop Uxie. Meanwhile, after coming out of the smoke, Mewtwo quickly fired a series of Shadow Balls at Kyurem, who swiped them away with Shadow Claw. "Grrr...this Pokemon...how strong is it?" asked Mewtwo. Every attack he has used so far had been countered. He soon tried to use Disable to try and block Kyurem's attacks, but Kyurem used Protect to block that as well. But Mewtwo soon got an idea and fired a Psychic attack at Kyurem as soon as the Protect was down, resulting in Kyurem finally taking a hit and falling down to the ground. "Ugh..." groaned Kyurem as it got back up, only to be met with another Shadow Ball from Mewtwo, who then surrounded himself in a blue sphere and charged at Kyurem. "Don't think that will work Mewtwo!" yelled Giovanni as he suddenly threw a Poke Ball and from it came his Persian, who looked ready to battle. "Persian, Hyper Beam!" yelled Giovanni. Persian fired the beam at Mewtwo, but was suddenly met by Keldeo's Secret Sword attack. Keldeo landed on the ground in front of Giovanni and Persian in a battle stance. "No way I'm going to let you make things unfair!" yelled Keldeo. "Like you can make a difference! Go, Lopunny!" yelled Giovanni. And out from his Poke Ball came the rabbit Pokemon, but there was something off. It's normal brown color was a pitch black color and it's tan colored fluffy fur was a purple color. And it's eyes, when it opened them, looked like blue lizard eyes with gem like gleams in them. "That's weird for me, but whatever! I'm not scared!" said Keldeo as he fired a Focus Blast at the Lopunny, who suddenly held it's paw up and caught the attack, catching Keldeo off guard. "What!?" asked a confused Keldeo. Suddenly, the Focus Blast suddenly turned from it's normal light blue color to a dark purple color. This shocked Keldeo even more until the Lopunny suddenly fired it at Keldeo at a blinding speed. Keldeo quickly used Aqua Jet to get out of the way, but just barely. 'What the heck is up with that Lopunny!? It's not a normal one!' thought Keldeo. He didn't have time to answer as the Lopunny suddenly bounced up towards Keldeo and suddenly nailed him with a powerful Thunderpunch. However, the Lopunny was blindsided from behind when Scootaling got it from behind by tackling into it while Blanked Bloom gave it a powerful buck in the face, sending it flying. "Impressive. You two certainly have some fight in you." said Giovanni before he looked back up at the battle between Mewtwo and Kyurem. The two were evenly matched as Kyurem went for Glaciate, but was met with a Psychic from Mewtwo. "You're certainly a worthy challenge, whoever you are. But there is something I must ask you." said Mewtwo. Kyurem immediately stopped in mid air and faced Mewtwo, curious to know what Mewtwo's question is. "Why are you helping Team Rocket? I can sense Giovanni has no control over you. So why do you side with him?" asked Mewtwo. "...Mewtwo...I have no choice...I can't tell you...I'm sorry..." was all Kyurem said. Mewtwo just got angered as it fired a shadow ball at Kyurem, who was taken down by it. Giovanni saw this and immediately recalled the Lopunny before looking at Mewtwo with a sinister smile. "Well, seems like you all survived today. We will meet again." said Giovanni before taking off. Mewtwo suddenly took off after Giovanni, still focused on his earlier objective and completely forgetting about the others. "Hey, come back here!" yelled Scootaling, but Mewtwo was to far out of earshot. Unaware to them, however, was that Kyurem was getting back up. However, Scootaling looked behind her and saw Kyurem up. "Grrrrrr...YOU! I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU!" yelled Scootaling as she charged at Kyurem. Blanked Bloom and Keldeo immediately tried to stop her, but she was too far out of reach. "Dang it...looks like we got no choice. Are you ready?" asked Keldeo to Blanked, who sighed before taking a fighting look. "Ah am. Let's go!" yelled Blanked as she charged, with Keldeo right behind her, ready for battle. "You will not stand in my way." said Kyurem as it fired a Dragon Pulse at Scootaling, who flew out of the way and tackled Kyurem, only to be bounced off. "Dang, how strong is this thing!?" asked Scootaling as she landed on the ground next to Keldeo and Blanked. "It's a legendary Pokemon. So try this!" yelled Keldeo as it jumped into the air and used Secret Sword on Kyurem, who was knocked back from the impact. Kyurem bounced back, however, with a Shadow Claw, knocking Keldeo back, but Kyurem was then blindsided from behind with a powerful buck kick from Blanked Bloom, knocking Kyurem off balance. 'Just like that, huh?' thought Scootaling before getting an idea. She began to concentrate energy into her horn. Meanwhile, Keldeo took advantage of Kyurem being off balance and fired a series of Focus Blasts, which knocked Kyurem down. But Kyurem once again got up and caught Keldeo, who was charging in for another Secret Sword, and swept it away with a Shadow Claw followed by a Glaciate, which dealt heavy damage to Keldeo. "Don't think you can beat me. I will win this, just like I always have Keldeo." said Kyurem to a weakened Keldeo, who was struggling to get up. However, Kyurem suddenly felt a sharp pain on it's back and looked to suddenly see Blanked, who had bitten into Kyurem's back. Kyurem immediately began trying to shake her off, but Blanked Bloom was keeping a firm hold on the bite. "Get off me!" yelled Kyurem before suddenly charging up a Glaciate, which was set to hit Blanked from all sides. She saw this and immediately let go of the hold, scared of what was about to hit her. "Oh no you don't!" yelled Scootaling as she once again charged at Kyurem. 'I know my magic is only good for feeding...but please, I need something to help me stop Kyurem. Give me something!' thought Scootaling. And it seemed as if her thoughts were heard as the green magic surrounding her horn suddenly began to go up from her horn while giving it the look of a sword. Keldeo saw this and was surprised at what he was seeing. "That's...!!!" said Keldeo before Scootaling used the magical sword to strike Kyurem, who was knocked down from the explosion caused by the attack, cancelling and Glaciate attack. Scootaling then flew to catch Blanked, who was falling, and caught her. "Whoa...thanks Scoots." said Blanked. Scootaling looked back and gave her a wink before landing next to Keldeo, who had an odd smile on his face. "Why are you smiling in a time like this?" asked Scootaling. Keldeo responded by giving off a bit of a proud face. "Seems like I'm a bit of an inspiration since you just a different form of my move." said Keldeo. Scootaling was confused at first until it hit her. She had just used her own version of Secret Sword. Not only that, but she was able to get a big hit on Kyurem because of it. A smile grew on Scootaling's face. "Yeah...Yeah, I did, didn't I! Heh, how's that for awesome!" said Scootaling. Blanked Bloom and Keldeo just laughed a bit at this. (End music) "It was impressive..." came Kyurem's voice. All three turned to see Kyurem again getting back up. Suddenly, electricity started coming from Kyurem. "But now, you will see my full power!" yelled Kyurem as it flew into the air as the electricity suddenly formed into an large orb of electricity, with Kyurem being inside. Keldeo immediately grew scared. "What the hay is up now!?" asked both Scootaling and Blanked Bloom. "Kyurem...is changing forms!" was all Keldeo said as Kyurem emerged from the orb in a new form. Kyurem let out a huge roar as it began to charge up an attack. "What is that!?" asked Scootaling, who was shocked to see Kyurem in this form. "Black Kyurem..." was all Keldeo said as Kyurem finished charging. "Freeze Shock!" yelled Kyurem as it fired a blue orb of ice cold lightning at the three, who was frozen in fear. All of them closed their eyes, waiting for the inevitable. But then, they felt something appear in front of them. Keldeo opened it's eyes and saw an Electivire using Protect to stop the Freeze Shock attack. "I leave you alone for a few minutes and you already got into more trouble!" suddenly came Paul's voice. Blanked and Scootaling opened their eyes and they, and Keldeo, looked behind them and there was Paul. "Seriously, can I get a break these days? Electivire, use Thunder!" yelled Paul. As soon as the Freeze Shock attack was gone, Electivire launched a large lightning bolt at Kyurem, who had no time to dodge and was knocked back down the ground. "Now, use Brick Break!" yelled Paul. Electivire then rushed at Kyurem and delivered a powerful chop to Kyurem's head. The legendary Pokemon was dazed from the shot and Paul knew the end was near. "Now, Giga Impact!" commanded Paul as Electivire charged at Kyurem, surrounded by a pink aura. However, Kyurem suddenly flew out of the way, changing back to it's regular form in the process. "You've raised your Pokemon well. When my strength returns, I will return." said Kyurem. However, before it left, Kyurem then looked at Scootaling. "As for you, as an reward for showing courage, I will tell you this as your reward. A boy by the name of N has freed your friends." said Kyurem. Scootaling couldn't believe what she had just heard, but soon her excitement turned into doubt. "Why are you telling me this?" asked Scootaling. But she never got her answer as Kyurem suddenly roared, causing a short blizzard and when it cleared, Kyurem was gone. Scootaling was still in doubt, but then Blanked Bloom came up to her. "Scoots, if it means anythin' to ya, Ah'll help ya reunite with yer friends." said Blanked. Scootaling only nodded, still trying to figure out of Kyurem had told her the truth or not. "And you know what..." Keldeo said, getting the attention of the young changeling. "Since we're probably going to face tougher challenges, I think it'll be best if I teach you how to use Secret Sword. Since you seem to be able to use it after all." said Keldeo. Scootaling just nodded at Keldeo. "I think that is for the best." said Paul suddenly, getting everyone's attention. "Because I won't be watching all of you forever. I'm not some babysitter. You all better learn to defend yourselves." said Paul. Scootaling gave Paul a little bit of a scowl while Blanked Bloom and Keldeo just gave an annoyed expression. "And that time will come sooner then you think." suddenly came a new voice. Soon, three ponies descended from the sky. Two of them being black pegasi stallions with dark blue armor and bat wings carrying a chariot and another pony dressed in a black cloak, making it impossible to see what the pony looked like. "What do you three want?" asked Paul. "I'm here on orders from Princess Luna to bring you all to Canterlot Castle. She and I have known about you all being up here for some time now." said the cloaked pony. While all the others went wide eyed, Paul remained silent. "...This Princess Luna...she seems pretty important." said Paul. "Not that I care, but here in Equestria, she's the one who raises the moon every night. And apparently, she also rules this place along with her sister Celestia, who raises the sun every day." explained Scootaling. Paul stood there thinking about something when Blanked Bloom suddenly realized something. "Wait a second. Why does yer voice sound so familiar?" asked Blanked to the cloaked pony, who looked at her before gasping. "Wait, is that you Apple Bloom!? I think you'll recognize me." said the cloaked pony as it took down the hood, revealing a gray mare with a bright yellow mane and glowing yellow eyes. The moment Blanked saw her, her eyes went wide. "Ruby!? Is that really you?" asked Blanked, surprised to see Ruby. Ruby nodded at her as she smiled as Blanked Bloom. "We can explain things later, we need to-." began Ruby, but was suddenly cut off by Keldeo. "Hang on, we still have something to do north of here! There's no way we're leaving now!" said Keldeo. "I have to agree with Keldeo on this, there's no way I'm missing this." said Scootaling, though she wondered why she was agreeing with Keldeo on this so much. However, Paul decided on something. "You all go with them." said Paul, making the others turn towards them. "What!? But you can't do this alone!" said Blanked Bloom. "Are you really that dumb!? What if you get attacked again!?" said Scootaling. "Listen! Yes, I know I'm at a disadvantage alone, but all of you are more hurt then you think!" said Paul as he rubbed his hand behind Keldeo's mane and when he pulled back, there was some red on his hand. "You're no good in your current conditions. If we go into this battle the way we are, we're just digging our own graves! I'm in more better condition then all of you combined! Besides, I may be hard, but there's no way I'm going to be responsible for your doom. So that's why I want all of you to head to this Canterlot Castle to heal up and when you are able to and if you want to, come back and bring reinforcements. After all, strength in numbers, right?" said Paul. It was hard for the others to argue with what Paul said because it made perfect sense. They were in bad shape and if they went to Canterlot, they could come back not only stronger, but with others to help them. "...Alright, I'm going." said Uxie as it floated into the chariot before sitting down in it, still feeling weak from the battle with the fake Cynthia from earlier. Blanked Bloom soon joined Uxie in the chariot with Scootaling and Keldeo coming in afterwards. The two guard then got ready to take off when Ruby came up to Paul. "Before we go, Princess Luna wanted me to give this to you." said Ruby as she suddenly pulled out, to Paul's surprise, a Poke Ball that looked gold on the top and silver on the bottom. "What is this and how does this Luna know me?" asked Paul. "She can see everything in the night. And this item. from some information a new researcher at Canterlot told us, can be unlocked at where you're going. Best of luck." said Ruby before taking off into the sky with the two guards carrying the other 4 following them, though everyone was unaware of a yellow mouse hanging on to the chariot. Paul saw them leaving as the sun finally started to rise over the snowy land. Paul looked at the Poke Ball in his hands. "I might have just gotten my newest Pokemon." said Paul as he put the golden and sliver ball in his pocket before continuing towards the north. Meanwhile, back at the Ponyville Hospital, the sun was also rising there and the light was leaking into the room Pikachu & Buneary were sleeping in. The light hit Pikachu's eyes, causing them to slowly flutter half way open. He still felt weak, but felt very warm. He blinked his eyes a few times to clear his blurry vision and found Buneary sleeping on top of him, causing his eyes to go wide and his face to turn a bright red. 'Why is she on top of me?' thought Pikachu. But he didn't want to wake Buneary after what happened last night. They both needed some rest and he needed someone with him. Besides... 'She looks really cute anyway...!!! Did I just think that?!' thought Pikachu, who grew confused at the feeling he had right now. But he decided to put those thoughts away for now as he weakly put a paw on Buneary's back and slowly rubbed it to comfort her. Buneary smiled in her sleep as she cuddled against Pikachu's chest, which made Pikachu blush again. 'Dang it Buneary, why do have to make yourself cuter?' thought Pikachu. But he couldn't enjoy the scene for very long as Buneary started to open her eyes. When she had them open, she blinked a few times before realizing she was on top of Pikachu,making her her face turn red. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Pikachu!" said Buneary as she rolled off of him, but before she could get up, Pikachu suddenly grabbed her paw, making her look at him, both of them now with a light blush on their faces. "It's alright Buneary, but I do want to say...thanks for staying with me last night..." said Pikachu while he gave Buneary a warm smile, which made Buneary blush even harder. 'Dang it Pikachu, that smile of yours gets me every time. But...I guess that's just one of your cool features.' thought Buneary. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. When it opened, they saw Twilight walk into the room with everyone else. "Hey, your alive!" suddenly came Pinkie's voice as she rushed to the side of the bed and gave Pikachu a crushing hug. "Yeah...but...can't...breathe..." said Pikachu, gasping for air. Pinkie immediately released the hug and allowed the others to join her at Pikachu's side, allowing him to get a good look at them. For some reason, Pinkie looked as fine as ever while Twilight had a bandage around her forehead and horn, Dash's wing was completely wrapped up, Applejack looked fine despite the bruises, Rarity had her entire right rear leg wrapped up, and Fluttershy had her mid section wrapped up. As for the other two Pokemon, Victini had no visible injuries, yet everyone could tell how weak it was. And Mesprit had it's entire right arm in a cast. "Guess Team Rocket did a number on all of us. I'm sorry for all this." said Pikachu. However, it was Fluttershy who spoke up first. "It's not your fault. You had no idea those bad people would be here. They took all of us by surprise. But next time, we'll be ready." said Fluttershy. "Yeah, Flutters is right! My wing maybe broken, but I'll make sure I get back into the air in no time!" said Dash. The others gave Pikachu a confident nod, which seemed to raise Pikachu's confidence as he gave them a smile. "Yeah...next time, Team Rocket better watch out. Because next time, all of us will get stronger and make sure they harm no one ever again!" said Pikachu as he raised his arm high into the air, with everyone doing the same. Just as they lowered them, Spike suddenly rushed into the room. "Everyone, I have some news! The doctors are letting you all go per orders by Princess Celestia!" said Spike. This caused everyone to gasp, except for Pikachu, who look relieved. Spike was not done however. "And another thing, she has requested all of us to see her at Canterlot Castle immediately. Something about some others she wants us to meet. We need to get going." said Spike. Everyone nodded and the Mane 6, Spike, Victini, and Mesprit exited the room to a large chariot waiting for them outside. Pikachu got up and left his bed, feeling a bit stronger now. Buneary attempted to as well, but she nearly fell. But she was caught by Pikachu, who lifted her arm over his head and began to carry her out. "Pikachu..." was all Buneary said as her face turned red. Pikachu just gave her a smile. "Don't worry Buneary, I've been through worse. Besides, I'll always help those important to me, no matter what." said Pikachu. Buneary could only smile at this as her and Pikachu finally made it outside and got on the chariot, which took off immediately towards Canterlot Castle. Meanwhile...in another world, a darkness had come over it, disturbing the worlds only resident, a large dragon Pokemon. As it looked on through a portal to another world, it saw that on it's moon, forces were highly active and were apparently the cause of this darkness. The Pokemon let out an angry roar, knowing what it had to do to protect it's home and it will do anything to do so as the journey continues... To Be Continued...
